Book Description
Casi nadie se ha atrevido a dudar de la calidad teológica de Jon Sobrino, a pesar de que sus escritos no han surgido de preocupaciones académicas. Casi nadie se ha atrevido tampoco a negar la eficacia transformadora de su labor teológica, hecha de cara a los pobres y perseguidos y con la intención de que los desposeídos lleguen a tener vida, y vida en abundancia. Pero sí ha habido quienes han puesto en duda su ortodoxia, así como la ortopraxis desencadenada por su producción teológica. Este nuevo libro de Jon Sobrino es, hasta cierto punto, una respuesta a estos últimos, pero sin que la respuesta pierda nada de autencticidad liberadora. Trata de esclacecer equívocos, pero intenta también obligar a sus críticos a abrirse a nuevas riquezas del saber cristológico desconocidas u olvidadas por ellos. Dice de nuevo, aunque de forma más profunda y elaborada, que Jesús es Dios, pero añadiendo inmediatamente que el Dios verdadero es sólo el que se revela histórica y escandalosamente en Jesús y en los pobres, los cuales continúan su presencia. Sólo quien mantiene tensa y unitariamente esas dos afirmaciones es ortodoxo: y sólo quien historiza adecuadamente esa unidad, que va más allá de lo definido en Calcedonia, puede hacer vivo y eficaz entre los hombres de hoy al Jesús muerto por nuestros pecados y al Cristo resucitado para nuestra salvación. Jon Sobrino ha podido hacer esto porque vive y hace lo que piensa, y piensa lo que vive y hace el pueblo de Dios, que apenas tiene figura de hombre ni de pueblo, porque ha sido asaltado a la vuelta del camino por los poderosos de este mundo: y ha podido hacerlo porque vive y piensa en ese lugar privilegiado de manifestación histórica del Dios de Jesús que son las mayorías oprimidas del Tercer Mundo en marcha hacia la construcción del Reino de Dios.

Jesus in Latin America
Author: Jon Sobrino
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1592449794
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Jon Sobrino's qualifications as a theologian and the importance of his theological work are universally acknowledged, but the orthodoxy of his work and the orthopraxis of the activity it sets in motion are controversial. Sobrino responds to critics in this collection of articles on the theme of Jesus of Nazareth and his relevance to Christian life and faith in Latin America. The christology Sobrino argues for affirms belief in the divinity of Jesus and the centrality of Jesus' relationship with the poor and oppressed. It is, as Juan Alfaro says in the Foreword, a christology springing from Christian faith as lived in the historical situation of the Latin American people.

From Conquest to Struggle
Author: David B. Batstone
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791404218
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
This book goes to the very heart of the passionate debate over the true character of Christian faith and practice. The advance of liberation theology in the Latin American church has caused international reverberations within both the religious and political worlds. The Vatican was moved to denounce it as heretical, and the Reagan-Bush administration has deemed it a significant threat to the stability of the region. Here Batstone evaluates the writings of liberation theologians as they consider the central figure of Christian faith, Jesus of Nazareth, and asks whether a message of liberation for the poor and oppressed actually springs from the life and teachings of Jesus or is merely a religious projection of activists bent on radical social transformation. The judgment given to that issue will weigh heavily in the debate which currently rages in religious communities and seminaries over the political role and responsibility of the church. Batstone's work links these discussions to the concrete lives of the Latin American people and, in that sense, goes beneath the text and examines the subtext of religious reflection. Chapters present events and stories that originate in the daily realities of contemporary Latin America and then consider what connection these experiences have to the story of Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus without Borders
Author: Gene L. Green
Publisher: Langham Global Library
ISBN: 178368917X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Though the makeup of the church worldwide has undeniably shifted south and east over the past few decades, very few theological resources have taken account of these changes. Jesus without Borders — the first volume in the emerging Majority World Theology series — begins to remedy that lack, bringing together select theologians and biblical scholars from various parts of the world to discuss the significance of Jesus in their respective contexts. Offering an excellent glimpse of contemporary global, evangelical dialogue on the person and work of Jesus, this volume epitomizes the best Christian thinking from the Majority World in relation to Western Christian tradition and Scripture. The contributors engage throughout with historic Christian confessions — especially the Creed of Chalcedon — and unpack their continuing relevance for Christian teaching about Jesus today.
